Bite hits Southtown

Owned by chef Lisa Astorga-Watel, wife of Damien Watel (Bistro Bakery and Bistro Vatel), Bite will focus its small menu on what the restaurant is calling “real dinner food.” The menu will include lamb chop Provencal, lobster spring rolls, duck, and, for dessert, a chocolate blob cake. Astorga-Watel attended Houston’s Culinary Art Institute and has worked as a private chef.

The restaurant is opening inside the now defunct Bunz, Burgerz & More, and will feature a full bar with wine and beer options.

“They’re going for a ’70s vibe,” Sabiene Dixon, office manager and book keeper for the Watels, says.
